Shrimp Fried Rice

I love this recipe because it is quick and easy, but also because I can generally make it anytime with ingredients on hand. I always have rice, frozen shrimp, and enough random veggies to make up the rest. It didn't end up tasting like your typical fried rice from your usual Chinese take-out joint - but that could be a good thing, well different at least.

So I started with the last half of a red onion, one large carrot, a few celery stalks, and a can of bamboo shoot sticks. I always seem to have either bamboo shoot or water chestnut lying around. Now that I think of it, I think I threw in a tomato as well, seeded and diced.


From there, sauteed it up for a bit, and added some lemon juice, and a fair bit of light soy sauce. Added in the thawed raw shrimp.


Finally, tossed it and fried it up for a bit.



Next time: I would add ginger, and maybe try different spices such as maybe 5 spice
